Description
These SAMPLE P3 Framesets were assembled for photographs and display, before being packed and shipped to Excel Sports. We inspected each frameset to ensure it's readiness to be be built. The Orange P3's fork steerer has been cut for photos, with only enough steerer length for a 42mm height stem. If you have any questions, please contact us: 800.627.6664 or sales@excelsports.com.
The performance and efficiency of the Cervelo P3 frameset is an incredible value within the Cervelo line-up for serious triathletes and time trialists. The evolution of the Cervelo P3 to its current form flows directly through the essence of the P5 superbike design, yet bears the evolutionary hallmarks that have made the P3 perhaps the most raced triathlon bike of all time. Superior aerodynamics, built into a highly practical frameset that carries fairly standard component requirements and features that make it as tri-friendly as possible. for everyday multi-sport athletes- the competitive age groupers, ascendant youngsters, and those who love the physical challenges of triathlon. The P3 frameset features fantastic design and fit accessible to virtually every athlete.
The proven aerodynamics of the tube shapes and design features serve to reduce drag and improve overall efficiency. Cervelo applies several major features drawn from both the P5 and S5 designs, such as the Extended Seattube Cutout which blends air cleanly around the rear wheel, shielding the tire from any leading edge into the wind. The Shielded Seatstays build off from the seattube and ease the air over the standard rear rim brake mount, essentially taking dirty air, then smoothing it over what has traditionally been a true problem area. These rear triangle enhancements are fully complementary to the Dropped Downtube system, which integrates the front wheel fork, headtube, and frame to create a unified flow of air over the entire area, then passing it back as cleanly as possible to the rear of the bike. This has a massive effect on drag reduction and watt savings. ... Read More
